Changing results
I was playing this afternoon with my partner.
We were in 3NT( we made 9 tricks) and she was declarer and played KC instead of KS.
The TD, who were our opponents for that hand, said she could correct it and play KS , even though South had played her next card.
At the end of the session, my partner and I came top (EW).
However later he decided to change the result saying it wasn’t fair to the others at the club.
Can he do this?

In general it's a bad idea for a TD to rule at their own table, though it can be unavoidable. However, from your description I'm not sure on what basis the TD can have allowed the played card to be changed. (I assume the play of the KC was not a revoke?) Having done so, I'm also not sure of the basis for changing this decision - protecting the field has no relevance to making correct rulings. It does sound like it shouldn't have gone like this, though it might have ended up with the same outcome if the laws had been followed at every stage.
